Apunts Sports Medicine, a publication by Consell Català de l'Esport (Catalan Sports Council), is a scientific journal dedicated to sports medicine. Apunts is focused, on the one hand, on the impact of high sports performance on men and women and, especially, in the study of team sports and muscle and tendon injuries. On the other hand, on the behaviour to follow while practicing sport or physical activity during illnesses or in certain situations. The journal regularly includes original articles on Applied Research, Clinical Cases, Editorial articles or Comments, Consensus Articles, Reviews and Letters to the Editor.
